Finally - A New Post!

I think I'm in the swing of things again, or at least I'd like to think I am. . . . the last couple of years have been an interesting journey. Some good, most not so good. Not sure I'll go into all that this time.I've taken some painting, drawing and artistic journaling classes though and I'm moving away from art quilts into mixed media & journaling. Don't get that statement confused with the thought that I'm all that great at it.Really that's why I went with the "artplaywithchris" name. My heartfelt desire is to share this creative play with others! Anyway, I've decided to try and start keeping a record of my play days. Here's some photos to start with.

Additional Note: after attempting to upload all the photos here, I'm trying this instead. Only thing is I have no discriptions added to the photos yet!You are invited to view artplaywithchris's photo album:September 28, 2012

Me Thinking About Creativity

Hi, I'm Chris Fegles (sounds like Eagles:) and even I have a hard time saying it sometimes! I love quilting, fiberart, mixed media, well let's just say I love artsy stuff & the whole creative process!
I'm married to my HS Sweetheart, our first date was Nov. 7th, 1969 (funny thing is that I remember that date, but not our anniversary date!) we have two handsome sons, two beautiful daughters (by marriage), five incredibly beautiful grandchildren, two cats and one adorable beagle! We live on 22 acres bordering the Alsea River and Schoolhouse Creek, here in Alsea Oregon. Someday I’d like to learn to belly dance, play a musical instrument, speak conversational Spanish, paint better, draw better, have an artist/crafter’s retreat here on our farm (I call this dream - Alsea Art Farm), travel, go on a cruise, go to Europe (among other fantastic places that I dream about), but more than all of that . . . . have my kids, grandkids, & friends come out to visit us, without thinking that we live sooooooooo far out of town! If I could only pick this place up and move it closer to town.
